Neymar Jr. charged in Brazil for trying to bribe LGBT activist
Brasilia, Mar 13 (Prensa Latina) An activist from the LGBTI+ National Alliance accused Brazilian soccer player Neymar Jr. of trying to bribe him to withdraw a complaint accepted in June 2020 by the Sao Paulo Prosecutor's Office, it was confirmed on Saturday.

Brasil de Fato's website assures that Agripino Magalhaes, an activist of that group of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites, transsexuals and transgenders (LGBT+), revealed that a representative of the sports star at the Paris Saint-Germain Football club sought him out and offered him 350,000 reais (about 63,000 dollars) to withdraw the charges.

The case became an investigation by the Civil Police in Itaim Bibi, south of Sao Paulo, for alleged death threats against the activist.

Such intimidations began, according to Magalhaes, after he filed charges at the Public Ministry against Neymar Jr. and friends on June 8.

The friends suggest that Ramos should be tortured with a broomstick and Neymar calls him a ladybug, alluding to his bisexuality.

Magalhaes, who is an alternate state legislator for the Brazilian Socialist Party in Sao Paulo, decided to report the athlete for homophobia.
